Battleship Iowa App for Android
The content is terrific! Our son (11 y/o) LOVED the Vicky Tour! What a great way to engage the digital generation! The app itself closed unexpectedly several times and it seemed to drain my battery pretty fast. Saw many other groups utilizing the app on board.
Sucks does not work
Works for Iphone users, crashed multiple times for our andriod phones. Frustrating when yeying to take in the awesome Iowa.
It took me at least thirty minutes of frustration to finally get the hang of using this app. Once I knew where I was aboard ship, I found it much easier to navigate by the map. Lots of interesting tidbits, just not very user friendly. However, the sailors aboard were all very helpful and informative!
Lots of potential with Bluetooth location and augmented reality, but comes up short. Difficult to get the AR to work, and location is very spotty. Needs another few revisions.
Lacks the ability to know where you are at times, connectivity issues make playing scenes difficult and should follow more like the Midway tour using numbers to play back what you want when you want.
It says it is a 46MB download. I have more than 300MB available, but it keeps saying there is insufficient space to install the app.
The Big I - BB-61
This app brought the ship to life! Using the explore mode, I walked around the Iowa at my own pace and learned a ton! What I thought would be an hour visit turned into two as I couldnt stop learning new things! The content is so funny and interesting that I saved some of the items for when I got home. Download this app, and have your own personal tour guide!
Really enjoyed today's visit.
